Canyon Lake had a late start to their game with Gonzales but the Hawks still could not get out of traffic in time to pull out a win, losing 46-49.
The CL Freshman got delayed in traffic on their route to Gonzales that delayed all of the contests for this evening of action.
Canyon Lake did have some good things come out of this contest, but that most important item was still stuck in traffic, losing, as the Hawks are now mired in a six game losing streak.
Under 10 turnovers and a much better shooting percentage were all good signs but it only took one category that snarled traffic up for the delays…Free Throw Shooting was that flat tire.
The Hawks had been shooting much better in that facet, in fact in their last two games, CL was shooting 70% from the line.
“We just couldn’t get a stop when we needed it,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “There is a lot more hope after our game than there was after Friday’s game but free throws hurt us again.”
Paul Davis had a tying three point field goal with 40 seconds left in the game but then also committed a foul with 16 seconds while Gonzales was waiting for a last shot.
Gonzales was also abysmal from the charity stripe up until that foul and this Apache player sank both free throws to give them the lead and game.
Davis was fouled on CL’s last offensive set, but missed his first shot which forced Davis to miss the second with a chance for rebound and another shot.
To no avail as the Hawks had to foul again that resulted in your final score.
Other notables was Andrew Riali with 12 points on 50% shooting while Doug Hubnik continues to have a record year in the assist department totaling seven in this contest giving him 92 for the season.
Canyon Lake’s next game will be the start of District 27-3A, when Wimberley visits the Hawk Gym this Friday night.

Lady Hawks started their District 27-3A season with a loss to Fredericksburg last Friday and now will look on how to hone in on their game strengths this Tuesday as they face Bandera at home.
Canyon Lake started this game by scoring just three points in that first quarter which put the Hawks in comeback mode for the remainder of their contest.
“We struggled on offense,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said. “They had heavy pressure on our guards and we could never get into any rhythm.”
No Hawk player was able to make double figures in scoring as they could only muster 12 points as a team in the first half.
“We played a very physical game but came up short,” Coach Gallagher continued. “We didn’t give up, both teams were in foul trouble very early.”
Turnovers were the downfall for Canyon Lake as this has been one their most glaring weaknesses this season.
“We will be back to work on Monday morning to address our issue of taking care of the ball. We will tweak our press break and our offense to free up our ball handlers.”
Time will have to be well spent as CL looks to get back on track in their game with Bandera next week.

Hawk Freshman almost pitch a shut-out in win over Blanco, Friday January 4 in the Blanco gym.
What doldrums the Hawks had suffered in their last couple of outings was not in attendance in this contest as Canyon Lake jumped out to a 14 point first quarter while pitching a No-No in that quarter.
“We jumped out to a quick lead and never looked back,” Coach John Barthels commented. “After a couple of disappointing losses we decided to not get fancy and go back to what works best for our team, pressure.”
Wow, Coach Bartels can make adjustments sound so easy.
“We caused turnovers that led to easy baskets for our team,” Coach Barthels closed.
Hayden Lee finished with 10 points leading the team in scoring. The Hawks had nine players that scored in the contest while staying focused in a 29 point whitewash.
“We got a lot of of good rebounds and our defense turned into our offense,” Forward Hayden Lee said. “This type of game gives us a good feeling as we go into our next game….this was a nice relief. It also helped to make our threes and that helped open things up.”
Hawks next test will come against Gonzales this coming Monday as they try to keep that good feeling to continue throughout the rest of their season.
Based on Coach Barthels, all this team needs to do is keep up the pressure.

Canyon Lake’s Junior Varsity outscored Blanco, 24-4 in the second half to complete a comeback and put the finishing touches to the Panthers, 40-27.
In the first half, CL only had two players that scored while shooting 28 percent and twice had a 10 point deficit. The last time was 23-13 score with just over a minute left in the first half.
Blanco scored quickly to start the second half, but that was their last basket for this evening as the other two points scored by this Panther team was from their free throw line.
The drought that had hampered this Hawk team for the past few games seemed to still be lingering in starting this contest on this rainy and dreary evening.
The Hawks then woke up and scored 27 points while holding Blanco to four the last 16 minutes of this contest.
Trendon Martinez and Tommy Clark were the only players that scored in the first half combining for 16 points.
Austin Acosta and Skyler Tschoepe had 4 and 5 assists respectfully helping in giving players easy shots and confidence as this game progressed.

“The way we finished was certainly a positive,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman opened. “We continued to compete.”
Confidence is not overflowing and the Hawks do have some impressive wins on their resume, they just need to revive those games and get back on that saddle.
Next game is this coming Monday at Gonzales and then District 27-3A starts the following Friday when Wimberley will visit.

Canyon Lake continues their cold streak that started at the end of their semester as the Lampasas Badgers make SnowHawks in, 63-29 win.
What was once a three game cushion (9-6) has now become a one game deficit (9-10) as this Hawk team will try to stop their skid this coming Friday when CL tips off against Blanco at Blanco High School.
It took four minutes before CL could sink a basket and the Hawks did not even get a shot off in the first three minutes of this contest.
If this would of been a Ski Slalom event, then not only was Canyon Lake playing in shorts (Cold…burrrr), but also going down the hill very fast. (Black Slope fast)
It took a Spencer Wellings three point bank shot as the first half horn sounded before your Hawks would break into double figures.
“We haven’t played a game in a week and a half,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “I used the whole bench trying to get our kids enough reps.”
Lampasas was a very athletic team that had played four games in a tournament after Christmas, but excuses will not lower the hurdle that is next on Canyon Lake’s schedule as District 27-3A looms in the very near future.
Layer your clothes when you ski and wear some long johns in this next game and hopefully this contest will start out much warmer with a better outcome.

Canyon Lake Girl’s Basketball finished their Lampasas tournament with two losses on Saturday as they now look forward to District 27-3A action.
The Hawks went back to some troubling habits in those losses with that main habit coming in the form of turnovers.
CL had 25 and 32 turnovers with those two losses which turned out to be almost a larger number than points scored in those two contests.
Having enough able bodies was also a downfall for Canyon Lake as Hannah St. John was out with an injury giving the Hawks only eight players to finish out their last two games.
Taking care of the ball will have to be a major item needed to be rectified going into district play while also using this next off week getting more players healthy.
Saturday’s opponents gave Canyon Lake an idea of what type of teams they have coming up on their schedule.
Navarro and Boerne will certainly emulate those games with athletes that can pressure and get easy baskets.

The Lady Hawks had a win and loss in action at the Lampasas Tournament Friday.
CL had their seven game winning streak halted in the first game against Lorena, 37-22.
Canyon Lake did not score in double digits in any quarter and seemed to be still asleep in the morning game.
“We played lazy and unenthusiastic,” Head Coach Mary Beth Gallagher said.
None of the CL players made it to double digit scoring in the contest as the team could only score nine points in the second half.
Canyon Lake righted their ship in the next game when they beat Austin Crockett, 52-41.
The Hawks had nine players score in this game and Katie Williams pitched in with a double-double. It was her fifth double-double this season for Williams.
Williams finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
“We bounced back and took the lead early and never let them (Crockett) get close,” Coach Gallager said. “Katie had a great game in the second game. I spoke with her prior to the game and challenged her to do better and she did.”
Amber Ramsey had a pair of eights in points and rebounds.
Canyon Lake will play Lampasas Saturday morning with the tip off at 9:30am.

Coaches Corner with Mary Beth Gallagher
Coach Mary Beth Gallagher
Give us an idea of how you ended up with two week’s off this year?
Coach Gallagher: “Last year at this time we had already played two district games and thinking that would be the case this season left us scrambling for games. We did not realize until it was too late to schedule games. We called a lot of schools and did get our last two with Pleasanton and Devine.”
The ReSporter: What might be some benefits for this long of a layoff?
Coach Gallagher: “This break will actually help us as these girls will have time to study and do better in their classes. The break will also give us some scrimmages and conditioning. The girls worked hard especially in our scrimmages already this week.”
The ReSporter: Tell us about this Tournament in Lampasas?
Coach Gallagher: “We will have a four team pod system and will be guaranteed at least three games in two days and maybe four.”
The ReSporter: Who are the teams and what do you mean ‘Maybe’ four games?
